Sakariye .M Biology 5/27/2014 ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS AND HOW THEY AFFECT EVERYTHING “Our Stolen Future” by Theo Colborn is about the health and environmental threats created by man-made chemical contaminants that interfere with hormones in humans and wildlife. In this paper i’ll explain what is an endocrine system‚ what are endocrine disruptors‚ and how endocrine disruptors affect humans. The endocrine system includes all of the glands of the body and the hormones produced by those glands

What is interactive lecture? An interactive lecture is an easy way for instructors to intellectually engage and involve students as active participants in a lecture-based class of any size. Interactive lectures are classes in which the instructor breaks the lecture at least once per class to have students participate in an activity that lets them work directly with the material. * The instructor might begin the interactive segment with an engagement trigger that captures and maintains student

The endocrine system works with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis. The endocrine system secretes hormones in the human body‚ which are produced in endocrine glands and are released into the bloodstream to travel to the its specific target cell‚ tissue‚ or organ. Exocrine glands produce chemicals that are discharged into the surroundings. Hormones can either produce short-lived responses or long-term responses. An example of a short-lived response is when adrenaline (epinephrine)causes the

of well known environmental contaminants‚ such as dioxin‚ PCBs and DDT‚ can affect hormone levels. Hormones are produced by the endocrine system as regulators of biological function in target organs. Because hormones play a critical role in early development‚ toxicological effects on the endocrine system often have an impact on the reproductive system. The term endocrine disruptor is used to describe chemicals that can mimic hormones and may either enhance or counteract their effects. It has been

Unit 10. Assignment 2. The Endocrine System: Diseases and Age-Related Changes Cushing Syndrome Cushing Syndrome is a condition that presents itself due to the endocrine system. The endocrine system is responsible for secretion of hormones. Cushing syndrome comes about when the body has excess levels of a hormone called cortisol in the body. Cortisol is very important. It plays a role in managing blood pressure and keeps the cardiovascular system functioning normally. Cortisol also aids the body
